Forget about the Playstation 4. Sell your Xbox One. Give that Wii U to your nephew. It’s all about the Joystation. What’s the Joystation?! Duh! It’s only the hottest new console with the most expensive and exclusive game in the world—Greed Island. A game that literally costs billions and is unlike anything you’ve ever played, because you get to actually go into the game’s world! And if you die there, you die in real life! Now that's playing with power!
After learning new skills at the Heavens Arena and a quick brush with the Phantom Troupe, Gon finds a clue about his dad Ging’s possible whereabouts from a recording left for him. The recording prompts Gon and Killua to try and find a copy of a unique game called Greed Island. But there are very few copies in existence, and some are being auctioned off for billions of jenny! Just getting a copy of Greed Island is a tremendous challenge in and of itself! But the struggle is worth it for many players, because a mysterious billionaire is paying a massive reward to anyone who can solve the game!
Upon arrival to the island, Gon and Killua discover they have a lot to learn about this game when experienced players take advantage of them. The goal of Greed Island is to collect 100 specific cards and put them in a special binder that appears when you say “Book.” Some of these cards are easy to get, and others are incredibly difficult. And there’s no guide. Players have to figure out how to find all the cards on their own.
Aside from the cards collected to win, there are tons of cards in the game that do all manner of things! There are also spell cards you can use on other players to track them, contact them, steal their cards and more. And beyond that, there are item cards, monster cards, special ability cards and the list goes on and on.
Because of the incredible complexity of the game, players have banded together to try and collect the cards as a group. And one particular player has found Gon and Killua to be so naïve, she decides to take them under her wing and teach them about the game and the ways of Nen. Her name is Biscuit Krueger and don’t be fooled by her cutesy appearance, she’s anything but weak.
But most players aren’t as nice as Biscuit, and there is a dark element growing on the Island. Rumors of a sinister player that goes by the name of “The Bomber” abound. And he seems to be killing players and exploiting their fears to his advantage.
